Avalanche warning for region Voss Monday 13.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stabile conditions. Be aware in sun-exposed aspects for natural triggered avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Sunday 12. May 2019

Torsdag og fredag kom det litt nysnø i fjellet. Der vinden har fått tak har det lagt seg fokksnø i leformasjoner, mens det i vindskjermede områder fremdeles ligger løs og ubunden snø. I lavere fjellområder har mye av snøen smeltet vekk, og stort sett må man over 1100 -1200 moh for å finne mer eller mindre sammenhengende snødekke.

Mountain weather

Sunday 12. May 2019

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -7 °C to 2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 13. May 2019

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -5 °C to 4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Strålende solskinn og stigende temperaturer vil føre til at den nyeste snøen fuktes opp, og det ventes naturlig utløste skred i soleksponert terreng. Timingen er viktig, så styr unna solvendt terreng når nysnøen fuktes opp utover dagen.

I skyggefulle leområder høyt til fjells kan det tenkes at det finnes et og annet ustabilt flak av nysnø, men omfanget et begrenset til de høyeste toppene øst i regionen.
